The founder of the Ministry of Tourism was the famous banker Chen Guangfu, who was also the founder of the Bank of Shanghai.

On June 1, 1927, the Ministry of Tourism was established, officially changed its name to China Travel Service, and applied for registration with the Ministry of Transportation of the National Government.

Especially since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has always kept pace with the modernization of the country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, becoming a model for China's tourism development and the wisdom of China's world tourism industry.
Make a great wish that sets a precedent.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Chinese did not have tourism, let alone professional tourism service agencies. At that time, there were only a few foreign-funded institutions providing related services in China, such as the British Thomas Cooler and American Express. Their customers are mainly foreigners, with very few Chinese tourists.
Chen Guangfu, a banker who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, received a cold reception when he bought a ferry ticket from a foreign travel agency. He secretly set out to establish a comprehensive service organization.
In early 1923, the first education conference of the Republic of China was held in Shanghai. Chen Guangfu, who was the general manager of the Bank of Shanghai Head Office at the time, immediately called the Bank of Shanghai Head Office and arranged for staff to contact Mr. Huang Yanpei to arrange transportation, accommodation and other matters for all participants after arriving in Shanghai. It can be said that this is the localized passenger transport service and the earliest tourist group business in China and the United States.
In April 1923, the Bank of Shanghai was allowed to sell train tickets. Four months later, the Bank of Shanghai Tourism Service Department was established in the International Department of the Head Office. In January 1924, it moved to No. 420 Sichuan Road, with an independent door and a five-pointed red star as its symbol.
In 1927, Chen Guangfu decided to separate the Ministry of Tourism from the bank, establish China Travel Service Co., Ltd., and change its name to China Travel Service starting from June 1. At this point, the first travel agency founded by a Chinese was established.
On April 1, 1928, the Hong Kong Branch of China Travel Service was officially established, located at No. 6 Queen's Road, Central Road South, Hong Kong. This is the predecessor of China Tourism Group.
After the establishment of China Travel Service, it proposed to carry forward the national prestige, serve tourism, promote scenic spots, improve accommodation, devote itself to freight transportation, promote culture, and serve the public as its own responsibility. The establishment of China Travel Service created a precedent for China's tourism industry. Since its birth, it has shouldered the historical responsibility of self-reliance. This is not only the original intention of China Tourism Group, but also its eternal responsibility and mission.
China Travel Service is the first travel agency in China to obtain a tourism license. Its predecessor, Bank of Shanghai, initiated and issued Travel, which was a major contribution to China. Finance and tourism in the United States.
"Travel Magazine" was founded by
After the founding of China, the Hong Kong Branch of China Travel Service decisively contacted the Hong Kong Branch of the Bank of China, which already belonged to the people. This was the right decision made by the Communist Party of China at that time to follow the historical trend. choose. Shortly after the Hong Kong Branch of Bank of China took over the Hong Kong Branch of China Travel Service, it handed it over to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission of the State Council. After taking over the business, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission restructured it from private to state-owned. In September 1985, Hong Kong China Travel Service (Group) Co., Ltd., referred to as Hong Kong China Travel Service, was registered and established, and then continued to grow and develop.
The bold practice of reform and opening up
Relive the glorious years and pay tribute to the pioneers of the times. In 2018, the 40th anniversary exhibition of the founding of Guangdong was displayed at the Shenzhen Reform and Opening Exhibition Hall - Pearl River, and selected pictures and materials related to China Tourism Group's multiple projects, leaving precious memories of the group's entrepreneurship and foundation.
The Overseas Chinese Town invested and developed by Hong Kong China Travel Service has become a benchmark for reform and opening up. Since its establishment, OCT has emancipated its mind and boldly practiced, put forward a series of new concepts compatible with the market economy, carried out a series of new changes in systems and mechanisms, and adopted a series of reform and innovation measures. Its practical experience updates people's outlook on time, efficiency and values.
Before the reform and opening up, the tourism industry in China and the United States almost stagnated. China Travel Services Hong Kong staged a reform-focused campaign with the theme of cultural tourism. There is no ready experience, it is crossing the river by feeling the stones. For example, the development of Splendid China, China’s first theme park. Construction of Splendid China started in 1987 and was completed in two years. After its opening, it caused a sensation at home and abroad, and the cost was recovered in more than a year. The folk village, which was developed on a rolling basis with income, opened in October 1991, and the craze has revived. On its opening day, it set a record of 46,000 visitors. The subsequently built Window of the World was officially opened in June 1994, creating greater glories.
In 1992, Hong Kong China Travel Service International Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Travel Service Hong Kong, was registered in Hong Kong and subsequently issued shares publicly. The market responded enthusiastically, with oversubscription 411 times and frozen funds exceeding HK$150 billion, setting a new record for double subscription and frozen funds in the Hong Kong stock market at that time. During this period, the group has left impressive achievements worth writing about: in 1992, Hong Kong China Travel Service Group acquired 5 shares of Cathay Pacific Airways for HK$1.7 billion; in 1993, Shenzhen Airlines was established in cooperation with Air China, Shenzhen and BOC Credit. In 1998, Hong Kong China Travel International Investment Co., Ltd. announced the establishment of a new China Travel Shipping Investment Co., Ltd. with Shun Tak Group.
Don’t forget your original intention and keep moving forward.
Change is the main thread along the way. Never stop and move forward courageously.
From October 1997 to early 2000, China Travel Service Group suffered the impact of the Asian financial crisis. In addition, the company's own operating and financial conditions deteriorated, leading to a serious credit crisis and financial crisis. Since mid-2000, with the strong support of the central government and the leadership of the new leadership team of China Travel Service, all employees have worked hard to reverse the situation in a short period of time with unimaginable courage and enabled the company to survive the most difficult times. period. By 2003, the company finally got out of the woods through adjustments and reorganization.
In 2005, China Travel Service Group took over China Merchants Group.
In October 2007, with the approval of the State Council, China Travel Service was officially merged into China Travel Service Hong Kong, and China Travel Service Hong Kong was officially renamed China China Travel Service.
On August 3, 2016, the group ushered in another important moment in its historical development. China Travel Service Group Co., Ltd. Hong Kong and China International Travel Service Group Co., Ltd. held a reorganization meeting and listed China Tourism Group Co., Ltd.
The establishment of China Tourism Group reflects the important historical mission of the Party Central Committee and the State Council to make state-owned enterprises bigger and stronger in the new historical period, especially to strengthen the strategic layout of state-owned enterprises in competitive fields
